The Australian Government Department of Health established the OzFoodNet network in 2000 to collaborate nationally to investigate foodborne disease. In each Australian state and territory, OzFoodNet epidemiologists investigate outbreaks of enteric infection. In addition, OzFoodNet conducts studies on the burden of illness and coordinates national investigations into outbreaks of foodborne disease. This quarterly report documents investigations of outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness and clusters of disease potentially related to food, which commenced in Australia between 1 July and 30 September 2015.

This is the fifth volume in the series and examines the role of technology in health care in Australia. This paper does not attempt to provide a comprehensive coverage of all issues relevant to health technology. Instead, it attempts to examine some of the more significant issues in order to introduce the reader to the complexities of the area. It presents, where available, illustrative empirical information, examples and commentary from key researchers, and provides leads into the literature for further reading.

This is the sixth volume in the series and considers issues associated with the quality of Australian health care services. The paper canvasses some of the issues faced by government in intervening to best support high quality health care. A number of current Commonwealth government interventions are described across a range of regulatory, financing and research and development approaches. The range of national machinery to promote the quality of health care is also described.

This study projects future health costs attributable to the progressive ageing of the
Australian population based on extensive administrative data on medical practitioner visits
(to GPs and specialists), prescription drug consumption and hospital admissions. Scenarios
based on these cost data were applied to projections of the Australian population by age
and sex out to 2051 — by which time the transient effects of the 'baby-boom' cohort will
have worked their way through the system.

This first paper in the series Occasional Papers: New Series, deals with Australian government involvement in health care; population health,
particular challenges for the Australian health system and changing priorities.
